ATS Systems Ultimate Chuck Installation and Operations Manual
WARNING
THE ULTIMATE CHUCK ™
By ATS Systems (800) 423-4651
Recommended Operation, Lubrication & Maintenance For
Models UC2 & UC2B Chucks
1.
Read the Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual.
2.
Do not exceed RPM rating marked on the chuck or safe speed for the top jaw configuration or for the
application, whichever is less
.
The maximum rated speed is only valid for maximum drawbar pull using
the standard hard jaws model GUA designed for the chuck. For all other conditions speed must be
reduced. Failure to do so may have catastrophic consequences. (See manual)
3.
Do not use top jaws of excessive weight, height, or extended beyond the outside diameter of the chuck. See
Manual for more specific guidelines.
4.
Insure top jaw mounting bolts are grade 12.9, in new condition and the proper length for a minimum
thread engagement of two times the thread diameter.
5.
Inside end of base jaw must never be extended outward beyond the witness line or "SAFE" zone marked
on face of chuck. (See manual)
6.
Set jaw adjustment to grip the part as close to the start of the jaw stroke as possible, especially when
chucking irregular castings, forgings, etc. As you chuck each part, observe that adequate jaw stroke
remains to grip the part.
7.
Use only ATS Systems’ KO5
grease (Part #1113-9101). Grease chuck every 24 hours of operation, two
shots of KO5 per grease fitting with the chuck in the full “open-jaws out” position.
8.
At the start of each shift and after every 50 clamping cycles, actuate the chuck full stroke 5-10 times
without gripping a workpiece to internally redistribute grease throughout the chuck.
9.
Clean jaw guide ways when changing jaws, or at least once per shift if no jaw change is required, and
lightly coat sliding jaw surfaces with KO5.
10.
Do not exceed the maximum allowable drawbar pull.
11.
Test chuck and record grip force at least once per month. If baseline grip force decreases more than
15%, the chuck should be disassembled, cleaned, and all internal parts coated with a film of KO5.
12.
Never remove your hand from the jaw changing wrench - it could fly out if the chuck is rotated. Never
actuate the chuck with the wrench inserted - severe internal chuck damage will occur.
